Pawn Sacrifice

There is more to this movie than the title leads you to
believe.I think this was one of those
movies that flew under the wire without much hoopla, but it’s a very good
movie.Based on the world championship chess
player, Bobby Fischer – this is the story of what it took to become the
ultimate chess champion!There was so
much more to his story than chess and the amazing feat he accomplished by
having all of America cheer for him.Tobey Maguire, who plays Bobby, is awesome in this role.He created a person who I was very interested
in knowing.Bobby was a child prodigy
with a very unique mind but also a mental illness that kept coming to haunt him
in his quest for the world title.His
one and only desire was to beat the Soviet Union champion, Boris Spassky,
played by Liv Schreiber.As you watch
him struggle with his mental illness, you also watch those that care for him
struggle too as they know how important this title is.It was very interesting, very intriguing and
I would watch it again.
